COCOA IS SAFE IN FOSTER, BUT HE CANNOT COME BACK TO THE SHELTERWe are begging for an adopter for Cocoa.Cocoa is safe right now. He has a foster home, people caring for him, and room to run and play. But foster care is temporary, and returning to the shelter is not an option for him. Cocoa needs someone to step forward and make the home he has been waiting for permanent.Cocoas story began with pain. When he came to us, he had a chain embedded in his neck. A chain had been left around him long enough and tightly enough to become part of his skin. We cannot imagine everything this boy experienced before reaching us, but even after all of it, Cocoa still wanted affection. He still wanted someone to love him.Once Cocoa entered the shelter, the physical wounds were not the only things he had to overcome. The noise, confinement, and constant activity inside the kennels became overwhelming for him. Kennel stress began hiding the real Cocoa from everyone who walked past him.Inside a kennel, people saw a stressed and frightened dog. Outside of that kennel, we saw the affectionate boy who wanted to be close to us. We knew there was so much more to Cocoa than what the shelter environment…

In the rescue's own words, as they published it.
